And I am local to NJ so you can guess the endless options and in that the place stand out. Every single food item ordered was to point and the service is next level the speed at which the food flys out the kitchen is mind boggling given that this restaurant is part of a multi banquet halls establishment and probably shares the kitchen, special shout-out to who ever runs the kitchen back there. I am going to cut it short and get straight to the point please visit this place asap. Must try - Bihari Kebab - Chicken tandoori - Mutka chicken for 2 (Desi Style) - Goat Masala - Moscow Mule (shoutout to the bar tender Lineal) Special shoutout to Bhisnu from the wait staff took great care of us.

The salmon with crispy rice was the only dish we enjoyed. The squash was terrible and smothered in mayo sauce, and even the steak was disappointing. The chicken was decent, but the multiple sauces made the flavors strange and muddled. Probably one of my most disappointing meals in recent months. Such a shame because I used to really love this place.

We had about 16 people for a semi-private gathering, and the setup worked perfectly. Huge thanks to Siya, who helped plan everything and made the process easy. The co-owner Sunil checked in to make sure everything was running on time, which I really appreciated. Service was on point--Tony helped us get started, and Roleen made sure everything kept flowing smoothly. Food-wise, everything delivered. The buffet was fresh and flavorful, and we added tandoori shrimp and lamb chops à la carte--both were excellent. Kudos to Chef and owner Ruby Bhalla The place has a fun, upscale NYC vibe, especially on nights with live music. Also appreciated the thoughtful birthday wishes from the team--it made the night feel even more special. Definitely a go-to spot for celebrations.

I ate in with friends a few days ago. When we arrived the place was almost fully packed(10 tables…read moreor so) and I was worried we'd have to go elsewhere. They quickly cleaned off a table that had just left and we were seated in a few minutes. We ordered Malai kofta, kal dosa with chicken curry, bone in chicken biryani, garlic naan and Gobi 65 as an app to start. The cauliflower came out very fast, perfectly crispy and nicely seasoned. I was surprised that no raita or other sauce came with, honestly it was still probably the best I've had. The kofta was delicious as well, the sauce was sweet, savory and creamy. The biryani was done well too, not crazy spicy but enough for myself and my companions. Chicken was fall off the bone. The garlic naan was good, thinner version. My favorite dish was the kal dosa. This is a smaller dosa that only gets cooked on one side, making it thicker and more pliable for gathering up food and sauce. I loved the curry it came with and also the dosa. I had planned on taking out from here a few days prior to the visit, and will definitely go back soon for that purpose. Service was just ok. Maybe because they were slammed when we first walked in, but things calmed and we were still not attended to without having to get someones attention. With that being said, this may become my fav Indian restaurant in the area, let's say 4.5 Yelps for now.....

These are weekends I try to avoid but my guests, not so much. Despite being mobbed, Agricola is quickly becoming a go-to favorite as the service is crisp and the "Brunch" menu is worthy of being overpriced. The Bang Bang Cauliflower and the Butternut Squash soup were both first rate along with a rare cheeseburger that was still breathing (yum.) Agricola richly deserves five stars.

I did a quick Mary Tyler Moore trot across the street and entered into a mudroom style area where there was a collection of umbrellas. I found the floors inside the dining area to be very slippery so leaving the umbrellas by the door makes the most sense on this type of day. The dining room has a rustic-chic aesthetic with wood paneling and a comfortable farmhouse environment. I made reservations in advance and was happy to be seated immediately upon arrival. We declined the table we were initially offered since it looked a bit cramped, like the end of a table that was already seated. Considering the restaurant wasn't busy, we asked to be seated elsewhere. The new table was much better, a high top with a convenient hidden compartment under the table where you can store your personal items. Service was quick. I ordered the slow cooked short rib hash with sous vide egg. I asked for the egg to be cooked as firm as it can get. Ultimately, I had to change it to a fried egg. I tried the sous vide..I did!..but a runny egg just isn't for me. Now the short rib was delicious, made with house made mozzarella, fingerling potatoes with a red wine demi. I am reliving my first bite as I write out my thoughts for this review. I will be back for that meal alone. I paired it with a sparkling rosé followed by a French 75. For dessert, I ordered both the caramel creme brulee and the cinnamon swirl bread pudding. Unfortunately, I had to return the creme brulee since I didn't realize it was a chocolate base. Traditionally, creme brulee is made with a vanilla bean custard so I was surprised to see their spin and noticed only once it hit the table. The bread pudding, however, was warm with just the right amount of cinnamon and sweetness, served with vanilla ice cream. I look forward to returning the next time I'm in Princeton specifically for the short rib hash and the bread pudding. Would recommend.

Baby Kale Salad - This contained roasted butternut squash, apple, quinoa, and a balsamic vinaigrette. This was nicely put together, and all appeared fresh. All of the flavors went well with one another. Bordeaux Braised Short Ribs - The meat was extremely tender. This was my favorite dish of the night because of the tenderness and the hearty vegetable jus that was part of this. Pan Seared Chicken Breast - This came with a bing cherry gastrique and natural pan jus. The flavors were there, but the chicken was tough and dried out a little. It seemed like it was cooked too long. Grilled Asparagus - This came with a Dijon dressing. The asparagus was cooked well, and the Dijon dressing was a nice compliment. Roasted Fingerling Potatoes - This was solid, no issues on cook or seasoning. It was what I expected. Vegetarian Lasagna - I am not sure what exactly was in this, but it was cheesy and good. All I tasted was the cheese for the most part. Will I go back? Sure.

I have been wanting to try this place for years. Went today for Sunday Brunch…read more Overall the food was average at best. French Onion Soups were a whopping $18 each and they were so small with barely any cheese...but had decent flavor. French Dip was ok, but nothing special. The Croquet Madam was the best thing served. It had a very nice smokey ham taste and it was very good. However the worst part was BY FAR the steak and eggs. I asked for medium and it came out extremely well done and was a very low quality cut of meat, like what you would get at a diner. It also had zero taste. The eggs were ice cold and also overcooked. I was going to send it back but we already waited almost an hour to get served so I just ate it. On that note...the server was very nice but service was slow. They also served 3 out of the 4 of us first and we waited at least another 10 minutes to get the 4th meal. Now for the good part....the place is absolutely stunning! It was like walking into a fairy tale and it didn't even feel like we were in NJ. Walking the grounds and checking out all the statues was a lot of fun. That alone was worth the trip and dealing with overpriced so so food. In short go for the experience, not the food.

The garlic pepper shrimp was nothing short of amazing. The shrimp was fried to perfection.I don't even like shrimp, and I almost ordered a second one. I got the mango chicken as an entree. The server was sure to ask of the spice level I was comfortable with which was really nice. I told him I wanted a little more bang than the shrimp but not too much. They NAILED it. I 100% recommend the dragon chicken. The ratio of chicken/veggies was on point, and the jasmine rice complemented the meal perfectly. I also tried the sweet and sour Chicken dish. It was really good and I recommend that also, but that mango chicken. Give this place a shot you won't be disappointed. I definitely can't wait to come back.
